Arthur’s village had a huge, huge torch in the middle of town, which kept the town warm and gave it light. One day a huge wolf came to the town and knocked over the torch. Everyone in the town was hurt except for Arthur, so Arthur had to go on a quest to find the god Thor because Thor was the only one who could put the fire back in the torch. When he finally found Thor, Thor said that Arthur had to find the root of a mountain and the sound of a cat’s footfall to defeat the wolf. The sound of a cat’s footfall was easy – he just had to find a really large cat. But he didn’t know where to get the root of a mountain. After searching for a long time in the library, he finally found some information that would help him. Finally he was ready to go back to defeat the wolf and re-light the torch.

The illustrations in this book are really fun and help tell the story really well. People who like stories about the Norse gods will like this book. I hope that there will be other books like this!

Brownie Groundhog has two friends, Bunny and Fox. Brownie goes to sleep for the winter, but Fox is sad. He is bored and cold. He wants Brownie’s scarf. So he and Bunny go into Brownie’s bedroom while Brownie Groundhog is sleeping! Fox borrows Brownie’s scarf, and also lightbulbs that are Christmas things. Fox and Bunny got a lot of things, then they decorated the tree! Brownie woke up, and she was mad, but when she saw the tree she was so happy. Then they had a party and a feast. Then Brownie went back to sleep. I want to go to sleep like Brownie, and then wake up to have a party like Fox. I like the way they decorated the tree. It was really beautiful. It was rude that they kept waking up Brownie, but she liked it when she woke up for the party. I like the book, but I like the bunny best.

Can you imagine if you find a huge foot print in sand? I would wonder who had this big foot. After reading Dino Tracks every foot print seems fun mystery that I want to revel. I mostly end up finding squirrels tracks or randomly deer tracks but mostly I find my and my brothers’ tracks in my backyard but still it’s fun to be detective. When we were reading this book I felt like we are millions years old forest and looking for dino tracks and imagining what kind of dinosaurs made that tracks and what he would be doing at that time. Books is written in rhymes so I had fun reading book it was like dino poem mystery although I had my mom read book quite a few times before I fully understand it. I loved all kind of dinosaurs pictures in book,they demonstrates what would have happened. My mommy made us guess first and then she read the page and it was kind of fun game to see whether we were right or not and most of the time we were. At the end of the book they have fun facts about dinosaurs which I love like largest dinosaur was as long as four school buses. I love being dino detective after reading this book.

The construction crew is back! The six dogs and sneaky cat have another job to do! This time they are tearing down an old building downtown with a wrecking ball. This was my favorite part! Then the bulldozers and dump truck get to work. The crew digs trenches, pours concrete, and welds steel to make a frame. They have an accident with glass and a bouncy ball truck! That page made me laugh! It was fun to watch them build this big tall building! Reading this book is so much fun because it has a lot of rhyming words. I really like looking at all of the pictures too! I always try to find that sneaky black cat! This is now one of my favorite books! I hope they continue to write more of these books!

In this classic fairy tale, the silly miller brags that his daughter can spin straw into gold because he’s trying to impress the King. Of course she can’t! But the mean king locks her in a room and threatens to kill her if she doesn’t weave the straw into gold. What will she do now? Luckily a little man offers to spin straw into gold but for a price. If she becomes queen, she must give him her first child.

I don’t really like the story of Rumpelstiltskin in general, and I didn’t like this book at all. It doesn’t have a lot of detail, and I don’t like the story overall. Also, I didn’t like the illustrations in this particular version. But if you like the story of Rumpelstiltskin then you might like this book.

I love Hello Kitty but who doesn’t? She has been around for so long it is cool to still see books come out on her. This is a full color graphic novel following Kitty around as she reads a book that takes her on a bunch of adventures. From climbing a snowy mountain and having a picnic with her friends, putting cute flags on the moon, or going on a lunch date, each different comic is super cute. Some are drawn as if they are really old and some are drawn in the colorful chibi style, like the whale. The Kraken is my favorite character added to this comic.

I love how this graphic novel doesn’t have any writing and you just look at the pictures that tell the story. This means anybody can read it, even if you can’t read. If you collect Hello Kitty stuff or are just looking for a something new to read, I would definitely buy this one or give it as a gift!
